We are in a very rural location and are incredibly lucky to have an abundance of wildlife that share our woodland with us and call it their home too. Therefore, we regret that pets are not permitted to stay at A Little Bit of Rough.
The woodland is also surrounded by farmland with livestock adjoining our site, which sometimes like to come for a visit too!
We kindly ask guests with pets to make sure they have made suitable arrangements for their furry loved ones in advance of their stay
We are located approximately 5 mins drive from the gorgeous little market town of Uppingham & 15 minutes from Rutland water.

Our standard departure is by 10:00am. However, we always try to be flexible and if we are able to offer a later check-out time due to not all properties being occupied or your departure being on a different day to others, we will leave details in your lodge on your Welcome Note in the kitchen.
Our housekeepers will require access to your accommodation from the time specified.
Due to site security / very limited parking and to keep the woodland extra special for guests staying, day visitors are not permitted to enter the A Little Bit of Rough site.
We know you may occasionally wish to arrange something special during your stay. However, our accommodation is provided for private holiday use and the woodland is not operated or insured as a party, gathering or event venue.
Any outside supplier wishing to enter the woodland — including caterers, private chefs, photographers, videographers, beauticians or similar services — must be discussed with us and approved in writing well in advance of your stay. Please do not make arrangements with an outside supplier before receiving our approval.
For the safety and security of everyone staying with us, our woodland is a private, locked site. Gate access codes must not be shared with external suppliers. Where a supplier has been approved, we will arrange access directly with them.
Please also be aware that:
Simple deliveries of pre-prepared food, flowers, cakes or similar items do not normally require approval, provided the supplier is only making a delivery and will not be entering or remaining at the property.
If you’re considering arranging an outside service during your stay, please contact us before booking it and we’ll let you know whether it can be accommodated.
